2013 was the last decent Microsoft Office. And Windows 8.1 was the last decent Windows (and if you can get the drivers for the SD card reader of the Chromebook you are using you can install it on an SD card to multiboot the Chromebook using Mr. Chromebox, but you can also just install it directly on the Chromebook internal storage, however the latter will overwrite all of the internal storage including the ChromeOS installation. Some Chromebook models can do the former with Windows 10 without additional drivers, but other models will require additional drivers as well).
hahaha well a lot of stuff for even WinXP runs natively on Win8.1 and this was the revision after the initial backlash (like WinMe which the initial release was trash and needed several registry tweaks and 3rd party QOL applications to function reasonably). 8.1 is mostly fine - far better than Win8 - and some programs released after Win8.1 don't run on Win7 but mostly previous WinNT based programs run on it just fine (though some require configuration tweaks or 3rd party patches).
Basically, 10 was the last usable Windows, 8.1 was the last acceptable and required for some programs but also mostly completely compatible with all WinNT programs, and Win98SE was best for Win9x and real-time mode DOS.
But also all the ALI for modern Linux kinda makes anything prior to Win10 moot since you most likely could run it in Linux with the appropriate system applicatiuons.
My Office 2007 still works just fine.
Libreoffice killing it still.
Shiiiiit, I'm over here using Abiword because Libreoffice is too slow and bloated
I'd say notepad.exe but Microsoft managed to bungle even that.
I need to look into pirating an older version of Office. All I get from 2016 is telemetry and missing functions in Excel.
I have found ISOs of defunct Microsoft products on archive.org, including minified AIO fully updated Win8.1.

That's a funny way to spell Windows 7.

WinMe was the last non-protected-mode Windows. Win2k was built on Windows NT and was rock solid.
WinMe was garbage.
